    We must finish main campaigns first. no other promises are being made as the game scope is already huge - new 3d engine, first real serious game with combined ship and land operations (including fortifications combat). 

    There is what devs can promise at one point and what they dream, consider, foresee, would love developing...

    Both are interesting to know 🙂

    If the game is a success (it will) :

    • National campaigns (Spain, FR, Russia...) during the AWI - Napoleonic wars period would be nice.
    • UA : Age of Sail during the 17-18th centuries would too.

    Spain may be added as DLC later (...)

    Does it mean that France has no chance of being added ?

    No es verdad, se dijo que sería barcos del siglo XVIII concretamente de la segunda mitad del siglo y el primer decenio del siglo XIX. La construcción naval adoptada por las naciones más importantes, no tiene nada que ver desde la mitad del siglo XVIII con lo que que se hizo antes, de hecho, si confrontamos dos barcos de la misma clase pero de épocas diferentes, hay una desigualdad enorme. Así que según tu, que metan barcos de la misma clase pero menores, para que los revienten los otros, es decir, serían solamente por estética. Pues yo prefiero que metan buques del período más tardío y que ya están aprobados.

    Un saludo

    Un saludo, Compañero, mi Amigo !

    Unfortunately, I can't speak Spanish. And google translate is often a poor helper. Your text seems to deal with NA realism and historicity. Un amplio debate...

    Have fun 🙂

    I hope there are more ships like Wapen Von Hamburg. high deak with the Beautiful decoration.

    Before the economic reset I have been （Always Sailing）Hamburg only.

    I just want to see more ships like 1680~1750 the old man join the game.

    Indeed, ships of the early period and their nice sculpture decoration are great !!! 🙂

    it will continue to lose players from the american side of the globe as those players are getting a little fed up with waking up and seeing the map filled by the soviet side of the globe.

    how adding nations can turn an Age of sail game into a sham "Cold War or WW3 in the Caribbean"...

    Where do I get a Money Chest?

    it generally means that the person you were to carry is still waiting at the departure port... 😁

    You took the mission and left the port without checking whether or not the person was on your board. He wasn't.

    It happens when you take a mission and then change ships before sailing. 

    You have to go back to the departure port, find the person who is whether in your warehouse or on another ship, make him embark on your active ship and sail again...

    I know...

    No offence taken!  That's the duality of this game where realism is tossed out and then demanded.  I have a certain moral flexibility also.  We are based very loosely on history here so that while it's a guideline...it's certainly not a rule.  Using history to keep out certain nations from the game would not be financially feasible for Devs, whereas it is completely appropriate to demand that a strong maritime nation with close ties to GB be included. 

    I understand your point of view.

    I for one am always bothered by all forms of History revisionisms in movies, games, internet, etc. as it may lead to misconceptions and have serious effects on current mentalities around the world.

    As for implementing Portugal, Italy or even China in this very game, up to the devs...

    Wellington commanded Portuguese troops in the peninsular war...no reason that Portuguese flags cant be flown in a British fleet.

    I like it how everybody on this forum is able to both accept, reject and twist History (= use History) to get a feature implemented in this very game whose historicity has always been indeed very flexible. 😁

    @AngusMacDuff : don't take it personally. I (certainly) did it too. 🙂 

    We call it "flou artistique".

    J'ai découvert le MMO à travers NA. Tout y est affreusement artificiel : "En cas de victoire, les attaquants reçoivent par exemple 10% des investissements du port", à moins qu'ils ne dansent que un pied, dans ce cas c'est 11%. Après le bois rare et les navires rares, j'imagine qu'on va avoir l'eau rare et le vent rare. Il faudra "grinder dans un clan" pour acheter de l'eau autour de son navire et du vent dans les voiles...

    Tout un univers que j'ai du mal à comprendre...

    Nice ship to have into the game .

    Nice but the original decoration shown in the RL drawing by Jean Bérain is even nicer :

    soleil-royal-copie-1.jpg

    btw the 3D modeler gave the quarter galley only 5 windows instead of 6. He might have use the model made in 1839 as a template. 

    Those 17th century ships are really nice indeed. Another one (well documented) is Le Saint Philippe (1693) :

    Waiting for a game with more of them. 🙂

    Clearly the revolution was far more complex event than how it is portrayed, at least in British schools.    

    While I could understand that the England of the 18-19th century would teach his children that French revolutionaries were evil ogres who ate their own children at breakfasts :-), I am quite surprised to learn that the British schools of the 21st century still reduce the French Revolution to the 2 years of the Terror while denying or ignoring its benefits, as you seem to imply. Maybe a matter of an old persistent cliché or because of the Terror being more 'thrilling'.

    Charles I was an absolute Monarch who believed he reigned by divine right,  whether Louis XVI believed the same, or not, I do not know, but, as monarchs they held similar traits and took a similar path to their trials and executions. 

    The House of Bourbon (Louis XVI...) was also a absolute monarchy by divine right.

    maybe the French and the English people have more in common that we realise, or care to admit.

    I do wonder that if M. Robespierre and his fellow revolutionaries were alive today and could see that the privileged still hold power in every nation, would they ask themselves, if it was all worth while?

    The French Revolutionaries fought for basic freedom and human rights they got and we all still benefit : the end of the king's absolute power and the separation of powers of the executive, legislative and judiciary ; the abolition of slavery (4 feb. 1794) ; the right to vote, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, the principles of equal rights ; the freedom of opinion, expression, association and press ; the respect for property, the introduction of divorce ; the same unique law applied to the whole territory of the entire country, the equality before taxes : everybody pay tax according to his means (the nobility and the clergy are not exempted anymore from paying the heavier taxes and stop collecting taxes), the adoption of the presumption of innocence, the elimination of the Lettre de cachet...

    = basic rights that the citizens of 'some' countries around the world still don't enjoy nowadays...

    @Mr. Doran in parenthesis :

    Please allow me to add in your description of what players expected, during the passage from Sea trials to OW, two kinds of pro-OW : the MMO fans (who got NA OW with clans, trading, RvR, crafting...) and others dreaming of a more simulation/historical/realistic experience in navigating, sailing and fighting with weather conditions, shallow waters... (often less interested in crafting, trading, economy...).

    btw GL I am sure there's still a market for the latter. 🙂

    without wanting to minimize current inequalities around the world nor the victims of the Revolution, if you really think that and are interested in truth and History, you really need to learn more about the French Revolution and the Ancien régime ! 🙂

    Even facts about the very short episode of the terror, focus of many's attention and quite a delusion maker, would surprise you

    I think in this respect the composition of the Officer corps of the French Navy was in fact little different from that of the the Royal Navy, an Officer would either be of the aristocracy, or, if not, like Nelson (who was the son of a Norfolk Parson) have patronage from an Officer who was from the aristocracy. 

    At the Revolution, the French Navy was disorganized by the aristocratic naval officers fleeing abroad : these exiles represented 80% of the naval officers. Very few among the naval officers had trouble with the terror (3%). Some others fought against the revolution (10%). What's left fought for the Revolution (M. Vergé-Franceschi).

    That the French, as a nation rebelled against their lawful government and the subsequent terror that followed is no surprise, given the conditions that the common man lived under, indeed

    The Revolution is about the end of the privileges of the Aristocrats and the Clergy.
